Propaganda pays, ambivalence doesn’t…

I find myself slowly becoming more and more ambivalent about being an American. It seems everywhere I look, everywhere I listen and everywhere I go, someone or some group is attempting to get my attention. They want my attention so they can attempt to influence me into believing their propaganda. Why? Propaganda pays, ambivalence doesn’t. If I am ambivalent about a matter or issue, I cannot be counted on to support the other’s propaganda. And these attention junkies need yours and my support to raise money and multiply. Sadly, as with most things: “It’s all about the money, not the issue”. So in my opinion, we need more ambivalence. The more ambivalence the smaller the paycheck becomes for these blood sucking special interest groups.
